Correct answer: to restore Catholic rule in England.
Philip II was a staunch Catholic. He saw Elizabeth I’s Protestant England as both a religious threat and a political nuisance (English support for Dutch rebels and English privateering against Spanish ships). His invasion (the Spanish Armada, 1588) was intended to overthrow Elizabeth and re‑establish Catholicism in England.
